"But these are Tony's," Bucky fidgeted as he lay on his back, Rhodey's capable hands applying powder to his bottom, "I won't do it again, I promise."
"No one is mad at you, accidents happen," Rhodes told him as he wrapped the cotton like fabric around Bucky's waist, "But after three nights worth of laundry Mama is taking some precautions."
The metal arm man pouted and looked at the diaper hugging his lower region, "Why do I have to wear this?"
"Because you and Steve's bed has been wet every night and I'm pretty sure it's not Steve. If it is he can catch my hand," Mama glanced to the blond as he put his items away.
Steve just gave a snicker and went back to sketching the trees, "Today is pretty warm. Perhaps before naptime we can go out and have a good hike."
"Yeah, I'm sure you and Bucky will enjoy that," Tony commented as he played with his DSXL.
"I meant us all," Steve looked down to him. Tony just gave him a halfhearted glance and went back to his game, "It would do you some good to explore."
"Ticks, misquitos, and other unpleasantries? No thanks."
Rhodes plucked the electronic from his boy's hand, "I think that would be a great way to deal with this cabin fever we're all dealing. Lets do it now," the kids had just had breakfast and Mama really wanted them doing something other than watching movies all day again.
"I don't want to," Tony reached for his toy.
"Great, jackets and we can be off," Steve smiled and went to put his shoes on and grab his and Bucky's jackets.
"I don't want to be here," the genius sulked, following the three men through the wooded area.
Unlike him the others were enjoying themselves. The area was actually very good looking, though a bit thick. It was a nice change in pace. There were a few bugs but they were easily shooed away.
Tony was having none of it though and constantly complaining and whining and begging to be taken back.
"Tony," Rhodes glared at him, "Look here, we are tired of your complaining. We are trying to enjoy this and you're just being annoying."
The genius crossed his arms, prepping to grumble but Rhodes pulled them down to his side.
"Now we are going to continue this hike and you are either going to enjoy it or quietly hate it, either way you are not going to make another complaint," he glared into his boy's green/brown eyes, "Am I understood?"
The man's eyes watered and he sniffled. Mama simply ignored his teary eyes and put his pacifier in his mouth before taking his hand and going back to the group for a walk.
Bucky saw the event but was unable to hear it. He was thankful Tony stopped complaining but felt a need to ask Steve, "Why is he sobbing?"
Steve just gave a shrug of a reply, "He's upset mama scolded him."
They enjoyed the walk for another thirty minutes before the sound of Tony quietly crying hit their ears. Steve was content to ignore it for a while, but thats why he was not mama.
"Why are you crying?" Rhodes sighed figuring that he wanted a rest.
"I'm wet and uncomfortable," the man sobbed, wiping the streaming tears from his cheeks.
"Ok, ok," the man reached for his bag and looked about the area. There really was no place for Tony to lie, no where flat. He turned to Steve, "Any smooth rocks or anything?"
"I wouldn't know as I haven't been in these woods before. We can go a little further and search," the blond suggested.
He nodded, holding his boy's hand, "I'll get you fixed soon."
They walked for another twelve minutes before Tony began crying again.
"I know, I know," Rhodes rubbed his baby's back, "Well?"
Steve cringed, looking about, "I guess we should just go home."
"We're so far out that even the mutants are roaming about," Tony grumbled.
Bucky paused and looked to his younger brother, "What mutants?" The teary eyed man just pointed over several yards off.
"Fancy seeing you guys here," Logan wiped blood from his cheek as he smiled at the group, "Victor," the man tapped his brother's rear, "These are people we know, why don't you greet them."
The elder of the two turned to look at the group, "Oh, mama and baby iron, hows it going?"
"Great, know anywhere flat I can take Tony for a change?" Rhodes asked.
"You can bring him to our place," Vic shrugged, "We're heading there now to clean our deer," he pulled the carcas on his shoulders, "Coming?"
Steve couldn't hold his tongue any longer on the mutants' appearance, "Why are you two hunting in the nude?"
"We always use to do this," Logan shrugged.
"And it's hard getting blood out of clothes," Vic walked ahead of them.
"Yes it is," the mama nodded, following, "But you could always buy a gun and hunt like normal people."
"Boring," the mutants said at the same time.
Bucky leaned to his daddy, "Are they hillbillies?"
"Seems like it," he whispered back.
After allowing them in, and hanging their meat out back to drain, the mutants hoped in a shower leaving the group to help themselves.
"Who are they now?" Bucky looked about their average cabin.
"Brothers and mutants," Rhodes was working at getting a squirming Tony changed, "Oh, Mutants are a thing in case Steve didn't tell you."
The man shook his head. These current happenings were a little overwhelming. Once again, Steve knew exactly how he was feeling.
After some fighting about in the shower the mutants came out, still jokingly pushing eachother. Bucky could see the cloth of their diapers peeking above their jogging pants as they scurried about shirtless. A few more moments and they looked normal...ish.
"They wear them too?" the metal armed man looked back to the solider.
"Yes we do, thank you for asking," Logan punched his brother's back again, getting an elbow to the chest.
"Are you going to invite them to dinner?" Vic smirked at his brother's coughing.
